[HTC One S] Rapier:
Nice update. That "sound packs" thing is nice and new also the resizeable Halo windows. There are some minor issues I have that worth noted tho:

- that old "awake" bug is still present (device is shown "awake" all the time in battery stat)

- in whatsapp (I couldn't tested it with something else but I'll try), if you receive a message and you open it by pressing on the Halo notification, the keyboard is hard to be activated...I mean I tap on the text entry field and keyboard do not show. It takes several tries (didn't figure the pattern yet) to have it open and be able to type something. After writing the message the "send" arrow is "dead", I tap on it and it does nothing. Dunno if it's due to the resizeable feature or not. I am using SwiftKeyX keybd

- the font size option in Settings-Display&Lights-Font size does not do anything. Fonts remain the same even after a reboot, regardless of the size I set there

- the "network traffic in status bar" option has the speeds displayed on 2 lines, one for upload, one for download...it's great but the font size it's so small, it's barely readable. Maybe on bigger screens it is better but for us it's hard to see what's actually written there. There was a different network traffic implementation that was showing on only one row, maybe that one was better.

- the ROM now includes the Xposed framework and some modules (AppSettings and NetFlix Workaround). It is not active by default but note that activating it will switch from ART to Dalvik (this is a protection feature of Xposed because it is not compatible with ART). Now this is not a "bug" but I mentioned it since many people could not know why it's happening.

- there's a new "Hot Reboot" option in the advanced reboot menu. I've used it once and I got no cell signal. I had to make a full reboot to get it back. Dunno if it's always happening cause I used it only once but it happened

- in the Buttons settings, there's an option for the hardware button lights to stay on longer or shorter...well it seem it doesn't work. If I set them to be always on, they go off after several secs (5 or so). Dunno if it's for all or due to the ScreeblPro app I'm using

Now related to flashing the ROM and make it work. Accidentally I've deleted the backup I had for Beanstalk. That put me in the situation of many other users, who want to flash it for the first time. After trying for several hours I finally managed to make it work and I'll tell you how maybe it'll help others.

I've tried to flash clean 4.4006 and start with it....fail. ROM is bootlooping at bootanimation. Same with 4.4008. Same even with 4.4001. I didn't try with and older version because I got mad already :)

Then I had an idea...to dirty flash it on top of another working ROM. I had backup of several other ROMs and I've restored the one I had for LiquidSmooth. Guess what...it worked this time. No FCs, no bootloops, no nothing. I bet it's working the same if another ROM is used. So if someone would want to try this ROM and have hard times making it work with a clean install, can try the following:

- restore from backup a working ROM (I guess Twisted, Liquid, CM11 and so on, all work)

- dirty flash latest Beanstalk over it

- flash GAPPS

- flash custom kernel (optional Bubba if you want)

- wipe Dalvik/Cache

- reboot

I didn't used the default camera app on any ROM for a long time (I use "A Better Camera") but it was nice to see this has been improved alot...at least on this ROM. It has new functions but I'm not sure if it's only specific to this ROM...I bet it's some CM11 latest patches merging.

I've also tested ART and it's working. Takes some time for the first time apps optimization but that's normal. Overall impression of the ROM is very good, everything is working fast and smooth, no FCs or other errors I could find.

On the end I could say this is the most feature packed KitKat ROM we have at this moment for our device. Dunno what the Beanstalk team is doing but it seems they took almost every customisation possible and put it into their ROM...what's even better, they all work :good::good:
